2. Description of the Related Art In a prismatic non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are alternately laminated to form an electrode plate group, a bag-shaped separator is arranged on either the positive electrode or the negative electrode to separate the two. is doing. Further, generally, the separator has a function of shutting down (closing the hole) and disconnecting the electrical contact of the bipolar plates when the temperature of the battery rises due to overcharge or short circuit. It is preferable for this shutdown to occur at a lower temperature from the viewpoint of safety, but it is difficult to establish a temperature difference from the meltdown (melting of the separator itself) that occurs when the temperature further rises, so the temperature reaches an instant. In such cases, it is difficult to maintain safety. Therefore, a separator having a multilayer film structure in which a material that causes a shutdown at a low temperature and a material that does not easily cause a shutdown but does not melt down even at a high temperature are stacked may be used.

[0006] In this case, if example embodiment, because it is easy is to generate heat in the positive electrode plate side storage in a lithium secondary battery or the like, along with causing shutdown early, in order to further slow the meltdown, the positive electrode plate is shutdown cold It is preferable that the negative electrode plate is housed in a separator that causes meltdown at a high temperature. Furthermore, if the thickness of the separator is 15 μm to 30 μm,
Since the distance between the two electrode plates can be kept small while sufficiently maintaining the resistance to short circuit, it is possible to prevent the battery performance such as high rate discharge characteristics from being deteriorated. Further, if at least one side end of the bag-shaped both ends of the separator is formed with an unwelded portion or a cutout portion into which the electrolytic solution can permeate, the circumference of the electrolytic solution is improved and there is no portion that is not immersed in the electrolytic solution. Therefore, the entire electrode plate can be reliably used for the charge / discharge reaction, and the battery having the capacity as designed can be obtained.
When the material of the separator is made of at least one selected from polypropylene and polyethylene, a porous thin film can be formed and desired shutdown characteristics and meltdown characteristics can be obtained.

(Operation, etc.) In the prismatic non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery of this embodiment, the positive electrode plate 1 and the negative electrode plate 2 are housed in the bag-shaped positive electrode separator 3 and negative electrode separator 4, respectively, and are alternately laminated. In addition, since the active material applied to the positive electrode and the negative electrode current collector swells by the electrolytic solution and a pressure is generated between the separators 3 and 4, it is possible to prevent the active material from falling off the current collector. Further, since the positive electrode plate 1 and the negative electrode plate 2 are housed in the bag-shaped separator, even if the step of cleaning the active material left on the surface or the end of the both electrode plates is omitted, an internal short circuit due to the active material residue, etc. It is possible to prevent damage to the battery.

Further, since the positive electrode plate 1 is housed in the positive electrode separator 3 which is shut down at low temperature and the negative electrode plate 2 is housed in the negative electrode separator 4 which is melted down at high temperature,
Even when overcharged, shutdown occurs at a stage where the overcharge capacity is relatively low, and even if the overcharge amount increases and the battery becomes hot, as shown in the overcharge safety test results, due to melting of the separator, It is possible to obtain a safe prismatic non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that does not cause an internal short circuit.

Further, the separator has insufficient resistance when the film thickness is less than 15 μm and causes an internal short circuit when it breaks,
When the film thickness exceeds 30 μm, the distance between the electrode plates becomes large and the battery performance such as high rate discharge characteristics deteriorates. In this embodiment,
Since it is set to 25 μm in the range of 15 μm to 30 μm,
By using thin separators on both sides of the positive electrode and the negative electrode without inducing an internal short circuit, as shown in the discharge capacity test results, it is possible to use a conventional battery (comparative example) having a separator only on one side. It is possible to obtain high rate discharge characteristics that are almost unchanged.

Further, in this embodiment, since the unwelded portions 6 into which the electrolytic solution can penetrate are formed at both end portions of the positive electrode separator 3 and the negative electrode separator 4, the active material on the surface of the positive electrode plate 1 and the negative electrode plate 2 is formed. It is possible to obtain a prismatic non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that has the capacity as designed and surely spreads the electrolyte solution.
Furthermore, since the area of the unwelded portion 6 is small, the shutdown characteristics of the separator 3 are not significantly affected.
Since the positive electrode separator 3 having excellent shutdown characteristics is arranged on the positive electrode plate 1 side, the effect of shutdown can be enhanced as compared with housing the negative electrode plate 2 in the separator having excellent shutdown characteristics.

It is safe even under the condition that a large temperature rise such as overcharge occurs.
A high battery can be obtained, and a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate
Since it is housed in the bag- shaped separator, it is possible to prevent the active material from falling off from the electrode plate and eliminate the internal short circuit due to the active material falling off.
